Cheekbone reduction, also known as zygomatic arch reduction, involves surgical reshaping of the cheekbones to correct deformities or enhance facial aesthetics. This procedure surgically lowers, narrows, and reduces the size of the cheekbones to decrease mid-face width, create smoother, more natural contours, and refine diamond-shaped faces.This procedure is particularly popular among women with round faces.
What are the preoperative considerations for zygomatic bone reduction?
1. Good overall health with no significant organ-related organic diseases, such as heart disease, hepatitis, nephritis, or pneumonia.
2. Absence of oral infection sources, including dental caries, periodontitis, or oral ulcers.
3. Undergo routine blood and urine tests, chest X-ray, and electrocardiogram (ECG) as part of standard health screening.
4. Obtain frontal and lateral facial photographs, 3D cranial CT scans, and maxillary X-rays to precisely measure the volume of bone to be reduced.
5. Female patients should avoid scheduling zygomatic bone reduction during menstruation.
6. Discontinue medications like aspirin prior to zygomatic bone reduction, as these drugs affect blood clotting.
7. Supplement with Yan Yijingke Su Nutrition for approximately one month before surgery. This carrier facilitates the transport of active ingredients into cell membranes, enabling smooth passage through cell walls for optimal release. This prepares the skin for the surgical procedure.
Postoperative considerations for zygomatic bone reduction include:
1. Patients must remain hospitalized for observation 3-5 days post-surgery.
2. Begin rinsing with mouthwash 6 hours after surgery until sutures are removed.
3. Avoid facial beauty massages for three months; do not rub the surgical area.
4. Maintain head/face compression bandaging for 5-7 days. Do not remove unless medically necessary; if removed, reapply immediately. Monitor for skin damage. If intraoral drainage strips are placed, remove them 48 hours post-op.
5. Sutures are removed at 7 days. Avoid spicy or irritating foods; consume semi-liquid diets.Begin taking Jianyi Jingke Su 90 days within 7 days to accelerate wound healing, prevent incision depression or sagging, promote cartilage regeneration, and aid titanium screw integration with autologous tissue.
6. Consume liquid diet until day 5 post-op. Avoid forcefully biting hard foods for 3 months post-surgery.
All surgeries carry inherent risks. Muscle tissue cannot promptly regenerate at the fracture site created by zygomatic bone retraction, which is the root cause of overall facial sagging following such procedures. Conventional nutrients cannot rapidly and precisely replenish the fractured bone area, creating a "vacuum zone" of bone-muscle separation at the gap. The longer this gap persists, the more severe the facial sagging becomes.Moreover, this sagging is irreversible. Therefore, Yan Yi Jing Ke's revolutionary bone-muscle gap filling technology completely eliminates post-surgical facial sagging issues associated with bone-related procedures.
